He pushes a stray hair aside and moves a little closer. His eyes locked upon yours. Your heart is beating slightly faster and you wonder if you’re wearing the right bra for whatever may happen next. You move closer to him and notice just how bright his eyes are and how you can get lost in them forever. It seems like it takes ages for both of your lips to meet, and when they finally do, your breath catches.
This, my friends, is what is deemed “the drumroll.” Everyone, whether you are a virgin or not, has experienced this and can relate to the feelings of anticipation and excitement that comes with the drumroll. From watching many episodes of “How I Met Your Mother” I was finally able to put a finger on those magical little moments right before the kiss, or in some cases, before sex. It’s the moment when your heart is beating its fastest and anticipation is at its highest. All your emotions are running wild as you move closer to each other, breathing a tad staggered, and prepare yourself for what you hope to be an amazing kiss.
After speaking to a few other girls, we all seem to agree: the best part of the kiss, sex, and everything in between, are the moments leading up to it. There’s so much excitement and curiosity that boils over in those tentative moments. Emotions ranging from “It’s finally about to happen!!” to “Holy crap I’m wearing granny panties!” are the ones that rush through our minds as the drumroll begins.
There’s nothing like the drumroll. It’s the adrenaline pumping through both you and your partner that makes the moment so memorable; the long awaited moment has finally come. The sexual tension has mounted and your brain is imagining a million different scenarios of what may happen next. But listen up ladies, and gents, try to forget thinking about what may or may not happen next. Enjoy the road getting there. For me, there have not been a lot of memorable kisses or steamy sessions. However, the moments leading up to those kisses have made the memories all the more pleasing. It gets my heart thumping like crazy just thinking about it!
Think back to when you really liked someone and how it felt when you guys reached “the drumroll.” Remember those moments right beforehand and the butterflies that you felt when you realized what was about to happen. The sex may not have been great or the kiss may have been sloppy, but I’m willing to bet that the moments leading up to all of that made you feel like you were in high school all over again.
So tell me, what was your favorite drumroll experience?!
